Disney for Dad's B. day

We have some dear friends who gave us Disney tickets again this year. They are a company perk they have blessed us with for 3 years now. It's so amazing!!!!!!

We like to save the tickets to use in December because we LOVE the Christmas lights displays! We like to go on my hubby's birthday since he is given that day off of work and it's a school day so the crowds are not as large.

~ Let me tell you, it was pretty crowded for a school day and the economy was looking alive and well!

We chose to go to MGM again (now known as Hollywood Studios) because we had such a blast last year.We also did our theme park "economy style" thing again. It's like a game. We go and try to spend as little as possible. This year we spent $12.00 to park and $15.00 for ice-cream bars...and that was it.

Last year we celebrated my hubby's b. day by having milkshakes in the the Sci-Fi Cafe. When the kids asked "Are we going to go to that restaurant that shows the WEIRD black and white movies again?!" We knew we didn't need to repeat that experience. : ) (Sci-Fi wasn't their thing. lol!)

We brought lots of snacks in. (I had little bags labeled "morning snacks" and "dinnertime snacks." I had such fun packing and labeling them because I'm weird like that!) : )

When we left the park to have our picnic lunch in the car, they didn't stamp our hands or time us. -Last year they gave us 20 minutes to get back into the park. This was a lot more relaxing and fun. It felt oh-so-good to sit awhile!

We all love Tower of Terror. Nathan has us riding it on video. He unlike me, doesn't feel the need to hold on for dear life on that ride and so he could tape it with his Flip video. It's funny to watch. All you hear are grown men screaming...(I guess they drowned out all the women screaming,.....of which I am always one!) We also love the Rock-n-Roll roller coaster. Great fun!

If we did have to pay our way in the park, then we would feel like the Fantasmic Show was totally worth the price of the tickets!

It's a must see!

And our favorite part is the Million Dancing Lights display and singing carols while walking down the streets with fake snow falling on our heads. Its so Christmasy! And fake snow is as good as it gets here! : )

About Me

I started this blog many years ago when I realized how bad I was at scrapbooking! Back then, we had four "olive plants all around our table," quite literally. Now, three of them are in college and the youngest is a senior in high school. Life has taken some unexpected turns, and after a valiant battle against cancer, my hubby went to be with the Lord in 2015. I still love the story that God is writing in our lives, so I keep chronicling it here, minus the paper, stickers and glue.
